If collecting records is compared to collecting stamps
then 45s are the definitives. Indeed, it was the 45 r.p.m record
that helped the music industry define popular music culture.

Here at www.45rpm.org.uk is a wealth of information about
the songs and artists that appeared on UK issued 45s during the
1950s and 1960s. The content of this website grows regularly
so don't forget to add it to your favourites list, even if you
don't find what you want today.

On this site are specially featured some of the records to
appear in the UK when that wonderful 7 inch vinyl format was
still young. I've selected those that I think had the greatest
influence on the genre called 'Pop'- you may not agree- together
with a few of particular interest. Why not tell me what records
I should feature? I might be persuaded to add them...
